Yes it would be good if the clock speed can be switched between AES and MVS but I don't know if the core will have timing problems. Maybe Sorgelig can answer it.
AES clock with 59.59Hz is more compatible with HDTVs and it fits a bit better horizontally with consumer CRT TVs.
Yes, I understand the logic behind this change to an extent. I just don't fully agree with it. CRT's have service menu's/ pot adjustments for h_size
. If a user has sync issues with a consumer set they can get an extron or other device. That's why the AES clock is different to begin with.
For HDTV, I don't think it's necessary, if it is then it should have a toggle/wrapper like the cave68000. This core was the reason I got a MiSTer; for MVS functionality. The speed isn't right otherwise. I mean no disrespect by this. Thanks for fixing sprites in Yanchamaru.
Ok. i will try to add automatic clock switch depending on AES/MVS. So i hold on this PR for now.
Oh I am compiling a build with clock switching now :) It will change the clock depending on the "System Type" setting.
Also, dependent upon AES revision the clock can be 61.18Hz
.
With some quick testing the clock switch seems to work well but it may need some better testing.
Here is the rbf if someone wants to test. NeoGeo_aes.rbf.zip
61.18Hz is more far from TV spec than 59.60Hz, so it's enough to support the older revision of AES.
Wouldn't adding a wrapper for the clocks make more sense to keep MVS timings too? MVS timings are the proper way to play the games. I can't read everything. I just see you changing the main clock to an NTSC AES
